Gap on rear axle

1981 KZ1000, I'm doing temporary reassemblies on the wheels and have about a 1 inch gap on the rear between the swingarm. On the chain side there is a spacer about 1" thick. On the other side there is a spacer about 1.25" wide with a stepped ledge, plus what looks like a really thick washer (which I think is supposed to go outside the swingarm, beneath the crown nut). The parts diagram doesn't show any other pieces outside of the bearings, so am I supposed to compress the swingarm when I tighten down the axle nut? Did I miss something?

(And yes, I see that the axle and crown nut are supposed to go in from the other side)

Your brake caliper fits on that side of the axle, does it not?

Brakes? I'm supposed to have brakes on this thing???

Well crap -- found the piece you mean in some old pics, that certainly explains the large gap. Guess I would have figured that out once I got the rest of the pieces cleaned up and bolted on, but it's been a couple years since it all came apart.

Thanks for the quick answer. Now I can stop worrying about that and get back to work.

Brakes...lol
